Examples of how we've helped businesses transform their commercial spaces into efficient, organized environments.
Neighborhood retail | 180 square meters | 3-week project
A family-owned hardware store was struggling with inventory management in their storage area. Staff spent significant time searching for items, and customers frequently waited while employees located products. The back room had evolved organically over years without systematic organization.
We implemented a zone-based organization system dividing inventory into logical categories: plumbing, electrical, hand tools, power tools, paint supplies, and hardware. Each zone received color-coded signage and shelf labels. We installed additional vertical shelving to maximize storage capacity and created a receiving area with a clear workflow for processing new inventory.
The store now operates with reduced search time and improved inventory accuracy. Staff can locate items quickly, even during busy periods. The owner reports being able to stock a wider variety of products in the same space due to better organization.
Franchise retail | 120 square meters | 4-week project
This pharmacy location had poor customer flow patterns. Customers entering the store would cluster near the front counter, creating congestion. Many customers missed seeing products in the back sections. The layout didn't guide people through the space effectively.
We redesigned the layout to create a natural circulation path. The counter was repositioned to allow customers to flow past it rather than stopping immediately. We placed high-demand items strategically throughout the space to draw customers deeper into the store. Shelf heights were adjusted to maintain sightlines while maximizing product display.
Customer movement through the store improved significantly. The back sections now receive regular traffic. The pharmacy reports that customers browse longer and discover products they weren't initially seeking. The new layout works within the franchise's brand guidelines while optimizing the specific space.
Independent retail | 95 square meters | 2-week project
A boutique specializing in women's clothing needed to display seasonal inventory more effectively. The back room storage was disorganized, making it difficult to rotate stock seasonally. Inventory from previous seasons occupied valuable space while current season items were cramped.
We created a comprehensive cataloging system for the back room, organizing inventory by season, size, and style. Off-season items were properly stored and labeled for easy retrieval. We redesigned the sales floor to accommodate seasonal displays that could be easily changed. A system was implemented for rotating stock based on sales data and seasonal timing.
The boutique now transitions smoothly between seasons. Staff can quickly locate specific items in storage. The sales floor maintains fresh displays throughout the year. The owner reports improved inventory turnover and reduced markdowns on seasonal items.
Independent retail | 145 square meters | 3-week project
A gourmet food store carrying imported and specialty items faced challenges with product visibility and inventory management. Many unique products were hidden on overcrowded shelves. The storage area lacked organization, leading to occasional product expiration issues.
We redesigned product displays to feature specialty items more prominently while maintaining accessibility. A first-in-first-out system was implemented for the storage area, with clear date labeling. Product categories were reorganized to create logical groupings that helped customers discover complementary items. Signage was improved to highlight unique offerings.
Product waste due to expiration decreased significantly. Customers report finding the store easier to navigate. The owner notes increased sales of specialty items that were previously overlooked. The new organization system accommodates the constantly changing inventory typical of specialty food retail.
